Don't I know it. I loved all those Sierra "Quest" games, and let's not forget all the great ones from LucasArts back in the day either. Monkey Island, Indiana Jones, Day of the Tentacle, Sam & Max, etc... all classics.

It's definitely worth playing for the humor-factor alone.

Nah a lot of people liked finding out the ways you could die in those games, that was part of the fun. Most people remember the M.I. underwater death: "
The joke that Guybrush can hold his breath for ten minutes, which is repeated throughout the Monkey Island series, can be put to the test when the game presents a chance for him to dive. After about 8 minutes underwater, Guybrush says "I'm running low on air." If kept under water for another 2 minutes, he decides to head back up to the surface. If tried again, after ten minutes he will drown, ending the game."

Also, this game looks neat :< I wonder why it didn't come out for CD-i?

Oh noes! The typo patrol!
Dunno about CD-i, but don't you own a Saturn anyway? You could probably find a copy of it. Otherwise, I'm sure the PC version isn't hard to find at all along with a copy of DOSbox.
